Alvin Free-Stand counterbalanced handrail system provides a hands free protection solution for worker safety at height. It is quick and easy to install and can be used on virtually any flat roof surface. Counterbalanced arms and uprights have 3mm fluted rubber pads that hold the system firmly in place without any damage to the integrity of the roof surface itself. Aesthetics and ease of installation are crucial factors in the systems design. The use of quality galvanised steel tubing gives the assurance of strength while also establishing a visual subtlety that won’t conflict with the appearance of the building on to which it is placed. Similarly, the wide range of available components enables the system layout to be configured to ideally suit the collective protection need. Low profile counterbalanced arms provide a minimum trip hazard.
